REPEAT SHOW - Julianne, survivor & advocate

On April 17, 2010, I interviewed Julianne, a survivor and advocate.  Please join us for this repeat show. (original show -- http://www.blogtalkradio.com/oralhistory/2010/04/17/beyond-words-live--meet-julianne)

Julianne discusses her own personal experiences with domestic violence, as well as her involvement in the development of domestic violence programs in rural America, as well as some dilemmas and issues surrounding reaching those in the rural america about resources available to them too. Domestic violence in rural America is a perplexing issue because the batterer will often go to great lengths to alienate and isolate a victim -- oftentimes, this includes moving them out to the most remote area that they can where the victim has little access to communication with the wide world, as well as their friends and family members. How can we possibly reach these folks? Be sure to tune in and perhaps we'll hear some creative ideas that you, as a listener, can proactively do as well.

BEYOND WORDS LIVE is designed as a platform for survivors to tell their stories in their own words.  Join us for further discussions on these matters at:  http://facebook.com/DomesticViolenceVoices, http://facebook.com/KrastinSocialJustice and http://beyondwordslifecoach.blogspot.com/.
